Free Mart Review: Kooky products, medical claims & no retail

Free Mart operate in the supplement MLM niche. The company does not provide corporate address details on its website.

The Free Mart website domain registration lists a residential address in the US state of Utah, which is likely where Free Mart is being operated from.

Listed as co-founders of Free Mart on their website are David Crookston and John Austin (left and right respectively).

As per their respective Free Mart corporate bios;

David was introduced to network marketing at the age of 17.

After 40 years of working programs that do not work for most people, he decided to start his own company based upon the principles of honesty and integrity.

John began his network marketing career in 1964 at the age of 14. During his 51 years in the industry he has been Master Distributor of two companies and top money earner and recruiter in others.

He was co-owner of a company in the mid-nineties and has been a Consultant to the industry for the past 16 years.

For someone who claims to have “worked programs for 40 years”, there is a remarkable lack of information about Crookston’s MLM history available.

A Google search for “David Crookston mlm” returns seven results.

One of the result returned lists Crookston as a “leadership member” of Engage Global. Engage Global launched in 2014 and market a “Military Micronutrient Formula” supplement they claim “provides proven benefits”.

On his LinkedIn profile John Austin claims to be a “certified nutritionist, health researcher and author”.

having earned top positions in different companies, he learned that most compensation plans are not distributor friendly.

Whether or not he’s referring to Engage Global is unclear.

Read on for a full review of the Free Mart MLM business opportunity.

Recruitment Commissions

When a newly recruited Free Mart affiliate makes a product purchase, 50% of the commissionable volume is paid upline.

Volume is split into five 10% payments, coded upline as per affiliate rank:

recruiting affiliate – 10%

Diamond bonus – 10%

Double Diamond bonus – 10%

Triple Diamond bonus – 10%

Ambassador bonus – 10%

When a newly recruited affiliate placed their first order, the affiliate who recruited them receives a 10% commission.

If that affiliate is Diamond rank, they receive an additional 10% bonus (20% commission total). If they are at the Triple DIamond rank they’d receive a 30% bonus (40% commission total).

Unpaid percentages roll up the upline to appropriately ranked affiliates.

Eg. If a Diamond ranked affiliate recruits a new affiliate who makes a purchase, they are paid a 20% commission with 30% remaining.

The system searches the upline for a Double Diamond or higher ranked affiliate to pay the remaining 30% out to.

If a Double Diamond ranked affiliate is found, they are paid 10% with 20% remaining. The system would then continue to search for a Triple Diamond or Ambassador ranked affiliate to pay the remaining 20% out to.

If a Triple Diamond was found, they’d be paid 10% and 10% would go to the first found Ambassador. If an Ambassador was found, they’d receive the remaining 20%.

Note that if an Ambassador ranked affiliate is the recruiting affiliate, they are paid the full 50% commission with nothing rolling up the upline.

Residual Commissions

Residual commissions are paid out on subsequent orders made by recruited affiliates. In Free Mart, these commissions are paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates go on to recruit new affiliates of their own, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Free Mart cap payable unilevel levels at nine, with commissions paid out as a percentage of sales volume generated on each level as follows:

level 1 – 1%

level 2 – 1%

level 3 – 2%

level 4 – 3%

level 5 – 5%

level 6 – 8%

level 7 – 13%

level 8 – 21%

level 9 – 34%

Global Bonus Pools

The Global Bonus Pools are two pools each made up of 1% of Free Mart’s company-wide sales volume.

John used to be in my JTL upline. I quit their program over a year ago. I cannot imagine John can really believe that his new program wreaks ANY credibility.

Another huge problem from an MLMer point of view is that 88% is paid out in residual commissions for physical products? That isn’t sustainable … unless the products are jacked up so high as to be way over what one would ever expect to pay for comparable products.

55% paid out on level 8 and 9? The entire plan is upside down! Very few will ever see any residuals on level 8 and 9. THAT is why they “can” pay 88%. The balance that may ACTUALLY get paid out is (88% – 55%) only 33% for levels 7 and above to level one.

Most people won’t get past the first 3 levels. That gives them a “whopping” 4% total on all three levels in residual income. I cannot believe anybody would be so stupid as to fall for this.

I’m a network marketer, and even I can see the idiocy of this. I think any “dumb MLMer” can figure this one out. John, what were you thinking? No retail? Insane comp plan?

First of all, I appreciate you bringing light to the mlm industry, which truthfully is filled with a lot of trickery, fraud and deception. And even if you try to make Free-Mart out to be a scam or a company designed to hurt its members, I am not offended by anyone else’s opinions.

The beauty of free-enterprize is that only those who choose to join Free-Mart will join. There is no enticement and all products are sold retail.

I admit that we are doing everything upside-down from traditional mlm and if we fail, you will say “I told you so” and that’s still okay. I believe it is time that somebody tried to do something outside of the “mlm-box” and that is what we are doing.

If we succeed, it will likely be by such huge proportions that traditional mlmers will not understand why.

So now that you have said your piece and I have said mine, why don’t we both just take 3 steps backward and watch what happens before either of us get more egg on our face than we already have.

In the meantime God bless you for your efforts to prevent a lot of ill-informed people from getting hurt by signing up for a “FREE MEMBERSHIP” in the Free-Mart Buying Club that pays referral commissions (cost of advertising) to anyone who refers another Free-Mart Member who makes a product purchase.

It’s interesting how after so many years of knowingly working in companies in which the average person has little to no chance of earning any substantial or meaningful income in, some people decide “Enough is enough. We’re going to finally set it up so the little guy can finally make some money after we told everybody for many years that anybody can make a solid income in this industry.”

They could’ve helped many folks by telling them their chances of success in the industry were slim and none. And slim was last seen packin’ his bags for a one way trip to Neverland.

But after being in several MLM businesses, this is a refreshing change, to me. I have brought people into other organizations, and they had autoships requirements to earn commissions.

After not being able to make the autoships or wanting to, they stopped paying my commissions, even though I did the work of bring that person in.

They aren’t doing this is Free-Mart. They are actually paying you, and rewarding you for helping build the organization, with no strings attached or gotchas.

And on response to the recruitment pyramid, those are when you get paid for recruiting. You get paid at Free-Mart when the people you referred make a purchase and the people they referred on down 9 levels.

Only get paid on commissions from people who make a purchase. Therefore, it is not a recruitment pyramid.

It’s the fairest mlm business I have ever seen. Have you seen one fairer? And which one or ones would that be? (At the risk of being called lazy)

And as far as the products go, I’m looking forward to trying some products that have the potential to help me with some issues like arthritis. Because I wouldn’t dare try those drugs that I see being advertised on TV that the FDA have approved, that have disclaimer at the end like may destroy your immune system, or have been known to cause Cancer.

I’ll keep you posted on the results of my trial.

And as far as no retail. That’s all it is. There is no wholesale. Free-Mart is a retail membership club. Membership is required for making purchases. (Like Costco or Sam’s Club.)

The only differences are, it’sfree to be a member at Free-Mart. And they give you commissions when memberes you referred, make prchases) They reward you for referring, when the people you referr, make purchases. We don’t make money for reffering or recruiting directly, so this is not a recruitment pyramid.

And thanks for letting Free-Mart know about the disclaimer. I noticed they do have that on the website now.

I noticed several bits of false information in the blog, since they have updated the website. Do you ever update your blog so you can let people know the facts?

And on response to the recruitment pyramid, those are when you get paid for recruiting. You get paid at Free-Mart when the people you referred make a purchase and the people they referred on down 9 levels.

This is a product-based pyramid scheme.

In MLM you need retail, without it you’re just paying commissions on recruitment.

I noticed several bits of false information in the blog, since they have updated the website. Do you ever update your blog so you can let people know the facts?

Review is clearly date-stamped. I do update reviews if there’s significant changes made.

As far as I can see, Free Mart still has no retail – which is the biggest compliance issue they have.

The plan itself has some decent aspects, however the payplan is a joke and is the reason why people get put out with MLM as a business model.

99.9% of the people joining this will never reach levels 8 & 9 and that is where the money is in the payout.

Also they are selling a bottle of water for 43 dollars, if it is more than one bottle someone let me know because it does not tell you how many bottles of their healing water you get for 43 dollars.

Advice to the owners, pay on less levels, higher % per level, keep no autoship option, be more transparent on your website, and many other items that could make this a viable program, but selling water for 43 dollars is a big time joke, 32 bottles of water at Walmart cost 3.98 and will hydrate a person very well.

I know the state law in Louisiana because I live there according to mlm watchdog.com the problem is an emphasis in recruiting not product marketing to end users.

with free mart no one gets paid unless an end user buys something the company is a buyers club where all members pay retail for the products.

unlike SAMs it is free to be a member the other states were mentioned in mnmbj oz that is the source if you want to look it up look through all the past issues. Or Google mlm state laws they are somewhere online.

Actually, what the law *actually says* is it does not recognize payment to participants based on sale of products destined for resale or consumption (even if it’s participant’s personal consumption) as “compensation” when it comes to definition of a pyramid scheme.

“Retail sales” was not mentioned.

Actual law cited as per Jeff Babener of MLMLegal:

NOLINK://www.mlmlegal.com/la.html

What Mr Babener did not mention: any MLM company and/or organizer with any downline in Louisiana is required to update Louisiana Department of Justice of any changes to their downline situation regarding Louisiana residents… if they want to do ANY business in Louisiana, and pay a registration fee as well.

Products are sold to the ultimate consumer.that puts the plan in compliance holiday magic was a product based pyramid shut down by the federal trade commission because it, like vemma, emphasized recruiting instead of moving product to the ultimate consumer. Free mart is not holiday magic or vemma.

End users include customers and affiliates. You have the option of telling others and making money and getting a rebate from the retail price, or you can keep your mouth shut and not earn rebates and overrides or you can be both a customer and an affiliate.

Tc: A lot of people think all network marketing companies are product driven pyramid schemes

So prove them wrong. Can you?

i am glad this is a membership based company.

Seems that you can’t. So either you’ve NOT educated yourself properly in terms of MLM law, understood what is the real business model of Free Mart… or you just can’t admit to yourself you picked the wrong horse.

Would encouraging retail without forcing it help improve freemart’ s reputation they could join the buyers club and participate in th pay plan or buy retail as a customer.

the pay plan is better because of the long term residual income the retail option could be set up on a separate website for that to work free-mart would need to deliver lithe products to the customer like they like they now do with the members and will need to take care of customer service issues as they come up.

optional retailing is good because it adds an additional source as well as new members the company can give them the opportunity to join at checkout or they can join free like they do now.

I plan to suggest that option to John Austin if enough people tjoined through the option available now or the 1 I want to suggest we might get the wild medical claims toned down.

That is why I did not say mandatory retailing. Putting retail quotas into affect would discourage retailing.

Giving someone the option of retailing with a separate website could give the customer who wants to upgrade to buyers club member for free and gives the customer the opportunity to determine whether the products are kooky or not for themselves while they decide if want to join.

Product is moved internally in freemart why not market it outside? Oz do you want optional retail or not?

When product is sold inside freemart and optionally out everyone will benefit. Optional retail also will keep the ftc away.

they would have the option to be buyer club members and benefit from the pay plan and the lower expense or they can pay a higher price and deal with headaches like sales tax when they become buyers club members. they become wholesale customers and both types are needed.

as freemart does not have any compulsory purchases or autoship requirements, and you can sell freemart products without having to buy any first, it is fair enough to not have any mandatory retail requirements from each affiliate.

BUT, merely saying – we will encourage retail – is not enough. there have to be real retail sales which are a healthy percentage of the total sales volume. for instance if freemart is able to record 25- 30% retail sales, i don’t see the FTC knocking at their door.

so, Tc why dont you get your relaunch effected and come back in 6 months and give us your honest retail sales data?

make it more profitable for members to earn from retail than from recruitment in the early stages. this will encourage a culture of retail and establish your product value.

eg: a member should be able to make profit from a single retail which is equivalent to the sale of the same product to three downline members. this will encourage members to look for retail customers rather than just recruiting members.

Retailing is needed but it should bo optional and sufficiently i lucrative to encourage it.

freemart could be a billion dollar company with tens of thousands of products a million+affiliates with optional retailing.

If it is forced with quotas freemart affiliate t would leave in droves people join freemart because the company got rid mod the hoops making retailing mandatory would defeat the purpose of joining freemart and stunt its growth.

K. Chang: What I meant is people do not join Costco SOLELY to earn money. It can be used to source products for retail, but a buyer’s club’s MISSION is to SAVE members money, not providing them with income

so we can both agree that a buyers club allows for both savings and earnings. A can join primarily to save, and B can join primarily to earn, which are both possible because of the discounts offered by buyer club memberships.

the MISSION of a buyers club is to provide DISCOUNTS, how members take advantage of this, is their own Personal Mission.

K. Chang: Which no longer exist in the age of drop-shipping. Nobody want a garage full of products. Indeed, the term “distributor” is obsolete.

you dont need to store a garage full of products to sell to your downline.

everytime you convince a downline member to buy a product, it can be dropshipped to him and credited to your sales account. when you have accomplished a particular volume of sale, you get a deeper discount level, adding to your earnings.

dropshipping just means that distributors don’t have to pay for and stock products in advance which sets them up for loss.

anjali: everytime you convince a downline member to buy a product, it can be dropshipped to him and credited to your sales account.

Oh great, now we’re going to have a MLM “philosophical” discussion.

And therein lies the confusion.

In a buyer’s club, the member’s INTENT is a buyer/customer/consumer. He’s there to SPEND money, not to MAKE money.

In a MLM, the affiliate’s PRIMARY intent is to MARKET stuff to other consumers. He’s there to SELL stuff and MAKE money. If he had downline affiliates doing the same, he gets rewarded for THEIR selling as well. That’s the “multi-level” in MLM.

But if a member’s primary intent is to BUY, not sell, s/he is a CUSTOMER, not a downline, and should NOT be counted in the genealogy. A downline is another affiliate, who’s also supposed to be retailing like you.

Member doesn’t have to stock products to suffer loss. He simply have to consume enough of his own stock, ostensibly for demo, partly to establish/affirm his own belief in the company and its products. (self-induced IKEA effect / ownership bias), enough so he can never make enough to break even, esp. after counting hours worked.

The counter-argument to that is… If he consumed the product, is it really counted as loss?

The problem again, is INTENT. Product not sold is product not making money. Isn’t? Whether flushed down the toilet, given away, or consumed, effect is the same: no profit for you, even though you paid for the product.

For “self-consumption” to make sense, it had to be limited to a REASONABLE amount one can reasonably consume, and it had to be accompanied by sufficient retail to show that the member is actively retailing product to qualify for commission instead of merely self-consume toward qualification. If there’s not enough retail activity, then the participant’s “volume” should not be counted as GV.

K. Chang: In a MLM, the affiliate’s PRIMARY intent is to MARKET stuff to other consumers. He’s there to SELL stuff and MAKE money

in amway, the court found that only approx 25% of affiliates were behaving like distributors [ie primary intent to make money]. 75% were affiliates to enjoy the products at discount [and to retail if they chose to do so, without any compulsion to retail].

ih herbalife, the federal court in the bostick class action agreed that most affiliates had joined to consume the product at discount.

when there is no compulsion to buy a product and when merely buying the product will not qualify an affiliate for commissions, the court construes the ‘primary’ intent to be consumption.

K. Chang: But if a member’s primary intent is to BUY, not sell, s/he is a CUSTOMER, not a downline, and should NOT be counted in the genealogy.

hmmm, this seems to be the ‘preferred customer’ argument.

firstly there is no caselaw or FTC regulation requiring that an MLM should have a class of ‘preferred customers’.

secondly, specifically in a buyers club MLM, a discount member cannot be removed from the genealogy. this is because as the members primary intent is to save money on the product, the more members he introduces, will result in deeper discounts for him, helping him save more.

K. Chang: By mixing both MLM and buyer’s club terminology, like “downline member”, one achieves “meatball sundae”… self-conflicting nonsense

well, the FTC has served up this meatball sundae [buyers club MLM] in its 2004 advisory to the DSA. this advisory is still relevant as it was quoted in the burnlounge appeal order. the FTC has not retracted or revised this advisory.

the court order in the bostick class action also noted that herbalife ‘functions like a buyers club’ [not exact words], and the court did not say herbalife is a meatball sundae.

Hey Oz, did you have to follow an affiliate link to look at the comp plan? I tried free-mart.com/compensation-plan/ and couldn’t access it without a login.

Additionally, I received an odd announcement popup/over which contained the info below. Did they have some issues with a supplier?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

We will hosting morning calls only until we have products in the warehouse and shipping. Here is the call schedule: Monday through Saturday at 9 am Pacific / Noon Eastern
641-715-3580 pin 949458#

Regarding your commissions. We were told that David and his attorney were going to bring “all” things into compliance before any kind of settlement can be made. In the meantime, both parties have agreed not to disparage each other until this can be done.

Part of compliance is the payment of commissions, therefore we sent all commissions owed to members to David and his attorney for payment. Some members have received their commission checks in the mail and we are hoping that this is all completed soon in order to save both parties further embarrassment.

In order to keep these commissions that are now owing separate from commissions that may accrue as a result of Free-Mart going forward, we have created a field in your back office that shows your commissions that are “pending” payment.

We are under the assumption that these will be paid and therefore you cannot use them for buying products in order to prevent double payments on the same commissions.

Part of compliance is the shipping of all orders made on the Free-Mart website. To the best information that we have, there are still 189 orders that were not shipped and need to be filled before the company can be brought into compliance. These also have been sent to our attorney with his agreement to pass them onto David through his attorney.

Any orders that we may receive here on out will be separate and distinct from orders placed in the past and commissions for these orders will payable as they are posted to your back office.

We are beginning development on our Advertising Platform website. This will include the benefits that Amazon.com, E-bay.com and Craigs List provide to their advertisers. We believe this will eventually go viral and provide additional monies coming into Free-Mart members through the compensation plan.

We are working on several other things that we have decided not to divulge until they are in place, so as not to over deliver and under promise, which is so easy to do when you are counting on third parties for things to be completed.

I believe that the future of Free-Mart is very bright and I also believe that the few who have walked away due to the embarrassment that we have all had to deal with, will one day regret their departure.

We hold them no ill will and we thank them for the participation that they took and ask God’s blessings upon them.

new products and services are coming New website is being created with the compensation plan and medical disclaimer there might be a new retail site as well.

If the company doesn’t, I will get a domain through free mart and retail some items myself the necklace will not be one of them. freemart got rid of it when John Austin forced the cofounder out. good riddance to Crookston and his dubious product.

Anyone who ordered the gem therapy necklace had rocks in head and needs it examined.

I don’t mind retailing just forced retailing my plan is to use some of the long term residual income to get a few extra items to retail.

when I do consulting I would be able to recommend the appropriate services like advertising and suitable items for my clients in the interview process for recruting members.

I will ask questions like how important are retailing and sponsoring. No retailing is no now money and probable pyramid, no sponsoring purchasing members is no weekly and monthly residual income.

When an individual is motivated by greed they do not want retail or residual income, nor are they satisfied with a partnership.

they want all the income for themselves so badly they become so obsessed with getting money the would destroy companies like free mart.

Free Mart was created to because the the CEO was tired of the trickery that is rampant in network marketing. retail is allowed you set your own prices that is why there are no retail prices on the website.

With enough money you can get attorney to say anything. Go look up Gerald Nehra, and how he blessed no less than THREE ponzi schemes as “legal”. Yes, ALL THREE were later shut down by US government. Nehra certainly had a MUCH more impressive resume than your attorney, esp. when it comes down to MLM law.

I’m not sure you’re understanding the role retail to non-affiliates plays.

Here’s a brief scenario. Joe Scammer decides to bottle $5 water and put a $50 price tag on it. That leaves $45 worth of shuffle money to distribute.

Sam Affiliate is willing to pay $50 because he’s in the scheme and expecting some of that $45. The way to establish real value is to have a non-affiliate pay $50. Otherwise, all you have is Joe Scammer assigning an over-inflated dollar amount to cover up a Ponzi scheme; using a cheap $5 bottle of water as pseudo compliance.

Sales to non-affiliates proves it has real market value AT THAT $50 PRICE. If not, all it is is a money shuffling game.

Without external sales, the scheme struggles to sustain payments to early affiliates who expect to be paid. If people don’t get paid, they leave. They get tired of paying $50 for a $5 product without reward. When recruitment dries up, so will the scheme.

Having a product with real value that people are willing to buy on its own merit, at fair market price, from outside the plan, insures viability.

This is why retail sales outside the system is required. All coming together now?

Will all of you guys stop trying to defend Free-Mart by all of your arguing, it is not profitable at all.

Instead just ignore these guys and instead why don’t you just post the incredible testimonies that are happening on a daily basis. Do you always have to be right?

No body forced me to join Free-Mart but I did just because I wanted to. Every naysayer always criticizes natural products and the people taking them and sharing them but what about (Ozedit: Offtopic derail attempt removed).

My mother is 83 years old and has been taking 3 types of medication for her high blood pressure. It has come down noticeably and she says her skin in much more smoother than it has been since she has been taking the Free-Mart water.

If you must insist that it is a placebo effect, try putting some cut flowers in the water then you will shut up for good.

I did get paid from freemart. It takes time to create a new website. I have not heard a date for the new site.

There is a genealogy list it in the back office as far as cost as concerned you if you buy low cost items you get inferior items.

Those who want instant gratification are just like that thieving partner who tried a hostile takeover. Both are gone.

Website as being is being coded and tested and will not be released until it is glitch free.

As far as income is concerned it takes years to make a decent income in any type of network marketing whether it is multilevel marketing or multilevel affiliate programs or any type of conventional business.

I had people call and try to convince me to believe you can $10000 in 2 weeks. patience is a virtue people need to learn how to be patient it takes lots of patience productive effort and time for success.

in freemart I have been on the conference there have been 100+ people. if freemart had conference calls at night lots more would attend.

Can anyone explain pyramid cause its usually shite talk, anyone who works is in a pyramid, freemart is now thriving since John took over, most mlm companies have too many hurdles to jump over just to get paid

people are just going mad that Jihn has seen through the mlm bullshit and decide on plan that actually pays you, no need for autoship, no need to qualify, you bring a person in you get psid, sinple.

Pat you get paid when you bring in a member who buys a product. If you bring in a member who does not buy something you get nothing you only get paid when product is bought by the member of the shoppers club .

(6) “Pyramid promotional scheme” means any plan or operation by which a participant gives consideration for the opportunity to receive compensation which is derived primarily from the person’s introduction of other persons into a
plan or operation rather than from the sale of goods, services, or intangible property by the participant or other persons introduced into the plan or operation.

(7) “Reasonable commercial terms” includes repurchase by the seller, at the participant’s request, and upon termination of the business relationship or contract with the seller, of all unencumbered products purchased by the participant from the seller within the previous twelve months which are unused and in commercially resalable condition, provided that repurchase by the seller shall be for not less than ninety percent of the actual amount paid by the participant to the seller of the products, less any consideration received by the participant for purchase of the products which are being returned.

A product shall not be deemed nonresalable solely because the product is no longer marketed by the seller, unless it is clearly disclosed to the participant at the time of the sale that the product is a seasonal, discontinued, or special promotional product, and not subject to the repurchase obligation.

Tc: Pat you get paid when you bring in a member who buys a product. If you bring in a member who does not buy something you get nothing you only get paid when product is bought by the member of the shoppers club .

Your interpretation is NOT supported by existing law.

Buyer’s club is governed by laws that restrict what a member can do and how the club is organized. A buyer’s club member is a CONSUMER and is not in it to make money.

The fact that you claimed “only get paid” when other members buy means it’s not a buyer’s club. Look up “buyer’s club” laws, which is VERY different from MLM law.

I suspect you’ve been fed a bunch of baloney explanations by your upline.

Tc: I had people call and try to convince me to believe you can $10000 in 2 weeks. patience is a virtue people need to learn how to be patient it takes lots of patience productive effort and time for success.

I will take it that you are new to marketing and don’t know how these people gain an income this size in a few weeks if not days. It is very possible. That doesn’t mean the product is great or anything it just means they have more skill or more resources than you do.

Tc: For a network marketing company to be legal, retailing and leadership have to both be rewarded.

And here you are fully focused on “Hunting” new members so they may or may not buy any products that happen to be on the site. Where is your RETAIL LEADERSHIP that you want rewards for?

What pyramid? There’s none with Shopfreemart you can market the enviro360 products and make $17 a sale after the first 3 the first 3 referrals will result in free products. you asked about about retail sales Terence B.

Hey OZ hwen the guy previous;y asked you to name a better company I think he was saying that if you think free mart is no good well what company, if any is better.

i have trying many different companies in the past and in spite of the fact of put a lot of effort into them (one cost me my marrage i was working so hard on it) i had zero success.

for me the hardest thing was to convince people to paid a joining fee for the privilege of selling someones products. (i always thought a joining fee was a con.) and autoshipment, having to pay out more money when you werent making any ggrrrr.

so free mart with zero joining fees and no requirements to buy, sounds like to best thing since sliced bread to me 🙂

kb: so free mart with zero joining fees and no requirements to buy, sounds like to best thing since sliced bread to me

If those two criteria are deal makers, I’m afraid you’re in for a lifetime of chasing the golden goose

While you’re talking “free to join” and “no requirements to buy” people with experience in these matters see:

Oz: On the product side of things, there’s no denying Free Mart’s offering is kooky.

Oz:
The core problem with Free Mart is the lack of differentiation between retail customers and affiliates.Everyone who signs up has access to the income opportunity, making them an affiliate. This in turn transforms the entire Free Mart MLM opportunity into a chain-recruitment scheme.
